Take a Word--Skinny


A "skinny" is a card measuring 3 by 5 inches.  Started with a dictionary page, then some brushstroke brushes to simulate gesso.  The figure is from a painting by Whistler, the tiger was from Wikimedia Commons and the window I found on Image After.  The labyrinth overlay is a brush from Nicecrane designs.

  2. This is a very creative and unusual piece, Linda! The labyrinth overlay is something I've never seen before. It gives a very interesting dimension to the collage.

  4. Linda, your "skinny" is fantastic. There's a story to be told. Is the ghostly lady invisible to the sleeping tiger or is she standing on a tiger rug? I love the intricate patterns in the background. The whole effect is superb.
